Landy Cannon Interview Pt 2!

Dark Rising is coming out in the U.S today so be sure to go out and pick up your copy! Here’s the remainder of Dark Rising’s leading man Landy Cannon.

If you could play any character on screen what would it be?

I love the old Spaghetti Westerns with Clint. An uber -cool character like ’the man with no name’ would be the ultimate. I think this genre of simple story telling through a gritty western needs to be revisited more. I’ve always wanted to do a Western.

We’ve heard you’ve just embarked on a new role – as daddy- How’s that?

Being a father has changed me only for the better! I look at my daughter and the world disappears. She’s a gem.

Do you get nervous before a big shoot?

Yes… Nervous, but very excited at the same time!

What’s your Favourite Television Show?

Californication— Gotta love Hank Moody!

What’s your favourite film of all time?

If I have to pick one, it’s gotta be “Forrest Gump”.

What Director would you love to work with?

Clint Eastwood.

If you had to chose a role “Behind the Scenes” What would it be?

Director of Photography(DOP). Great Cinematography moves me.

What hobbies do you pursue?

I love woodworking and any type of sport.

What’s the most fun you’ve had working on a project and Why?

This one’s easy – Dark Rising. Hands Down! I’ve always said: “in those woods in Pickering, Ontario, Canada magic happened. “ It’s what film making should always be. The producers made that movie for virtually nothing. I’ll have life long friends from that shoot. It’s hard to explain that magic. Just think, being a child and having the best time at camp for 3 weeks. Beautiful.

If you weren’t an actor what would you be?

A carpenter.

JUST FOR FUN:

Biggest Fear? Being a Carpenter! ( See last answer)

Who’s your celebrity crush? No one touched Farrah Fawcett in the 80’s, WOW!!!!
